Champion Foods recalls Motor City Pizza Co. 5 Cheese Bread over Salmonella risk. Learn about affected products, health dangers, and safety steps to protect your family.
On May 29, 2026, Champion Foods LLC voluntarily recalled its Motor City Pizza Co. 5 Cheese Bread product after routine testing indicated potential Salmonella contamination. The recall, announced by the FDA, follows a separate California Dairies, Inc. milk powder recall that has already triggered product removals for items sold at Aldi, Walmart, and other major retailers. The seasoning blend used in the affected 5 Cheese Bread contained the recalled milk powder.
“Routine testing conducted by the seasonings blend manufacturer prior to use in the production of the 5 Cheese Bread showed that the seasonings batches tested negative for Salmonella,” the FDA stated. “However, the company is recalling these products out of an abundance of caution.”
The recalled 5 Cheese Bread frozen pizzas were distributed to retailers across the United States, including Walmart, Costco, and other national chains. Consumers should verify whether their frozen pizza matches the lot numbers and expiration dates provided in the FDA recall notice. Do not consume the product if it matches the recall criteria.
Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause salmonellosis, a foodborne illness that can be severe or even fatal, particularly in young children, elderly individuals, and those with compromised immune systems. According to the FDA, symptoms typically appear within six hours to six days after exposure and may include fever, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and vomiting. The illness usually lasts four to seven days, though severe cases may require hospitalization.
The FDA warns that Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, especially in vulnerable populations. If you experience severe symptoms after consuming the recalled product, seek medical attention immediately.
If you have purchased Motor City Pizza Co. 5 Cheese Bread, check the product’s lot number and expiration date against the FDA recall list. Do not eat the pizza—discard it or return it to the store where you bought it for a full refund. For any questions, contact Champion Foods directly or refer to the FDA’s official recall notice for additional instructions. Taking these steps promptly can help prevent illness and ensure your household’s safety.
